Willa's POV
The two gunshots came from my balcony and the two men dashing at me fell at the huge noise.
Baldwin snapped his head to his back, and that was when a third gunshot rang out and Baldwin fell backward at that huge sound.
It was Al!
I dashed forward and got the gun out of Baldwin just in case. Though he was already dead with a bullet through his head.
"Al!" I shouted as I dashed toward Al. He leaned against the door frame of the balcony, panting hard with a gun held in his hand.
"I thought you were dead! You scared me to death!" I burst into tears as I made it to his side, "What was the huge noise from your room?!"
"Sorry about that. It took me some time to climb up." Al smiled at me faintly. He was panting hard with his left hand pressed on his right ribs.
"You are hit!" It was dark in the room but the blood was still obvious on his white shirt, "This way!"
I supported Al to my bed, but he just sat on
Taran was the only one who was able to really hurt himself. Prepared a lot of pain for him in the future.
Hello everyone I really appreciate all you guys' support!!! Hope you are enjoying the book just like I am. I'm thrilled to see that you love the story, and I really put my heart into the characters. I'm publishing three free chapters today, as my gratitude. Hope you will like them! I'm currently drafting for the next climax -- the bloody new moon night. But I thought I could give Taran and Willa a little bit of a "honeymoon" time before fate happens again. They would be spending a lot of fun time in bed (or somewhere else). Enjoy! Nyx Rai
Taran's POV I wasn't going to leave her when I knew Willa was in danger. Though I WAS shocked that Willa saw through my plan. "I thought you..." Willa murmured in confusion, but then she asked me: "You were leaving the pack anyways, no? Even before today's incident?" Oops...That was when I thought the Treaty would be after me. "Guess we both have secrets that we couldn't tell." I sighed with a bitter smile. "Whatever the reason, you need to leave. Give me a minute." Willa stuffed the parchments in my arms. Her eyes glazed. She was mind linking someone. Her granny? She looked shocked and confused before she cut the mind link. "Well, I don't know what I can do with the wolfsbane for now..." Willa frowned in frustration, "Do you think you can move?" "I can't, I'm in pain." I grinned at her. It was a good excuse to not leave, for now. "I know..." Wille almost burst into tears as she cupped my face as if that
Willa's POV I knew Al wanted to stay only because I needed protection. But his lie was getting ridiculous. "You realize I can see your mate's mark...right?" I frowned, squinting my eyes at him. I would bite him if he say it was a normal tattoo. "Kirsch gave me this mark by mistake." Al grabbed my wrist as I struggled to stand up. His words froze me and that worked much better than his grip. "You...you two...do you love him?" I couldn't get my brain to work to process that information. "I loved Kirsch as a brother, but Rudy claimed me as his mate, so I let Kirsch mark me," Al explained calmly. "But Kirsch doesn't have your mark..." I blinked, trying to understand. "Cerberus knew he wasn't ours, so he wouldn't mark him." Al gave me a sad smile. "So why did you let him mark you when you knew he wasn't your mate?" "I was driving him crazy. Knowing who your mate is but cannot have them does that." Al sighed, gazing i
Willa's POV Al's eyes turned red, his pupils shivering as they fixed on me. I froze in fear. It wasn't like fearing a ghost or a bad man, it was a raw fear growing from the bottom of my heart. Like you just fear when your ration was even telling you there wasn't anything to fear for. "Betrayal!" Cerberus shouted before he hit himself hard on the gunshot wound. Blood splashed out as he growled in pain himself, but still, he didn't stop. When Al told me he was mad, I never thought Al meant insane. I just thought Cerberus had a bad temper. But this wasn't it. He was furious at Al and he thought hurting his own body was hurting Al. He couldn't understand that they were one! But how could Cerberus wake up? The dose should have worked way faster than this! I guess the dose worked at different speeds for different people. Only it worked at a really bad timing! "Stop it! You are hurting yourself!" I grabbed Cerberus on his wris
Willa's POV Surprisingly, he looked a little scared. Actually, not that surprising. No one knew the pain of wolfsbane more than me. Of course it scared him. "Yes." Cerberus struggled for a while, but curiosity got the better of him. Who was it that said, curiosity kills cats? "There are bad fires, like the one Taran drank, but there are also good fires. They don't hurt, and they are sweet and pretty, like my toy." I nodded at the parchment on the floor but I didn't reach out for it. Cerberus stared at me with doubt in his eyes. "I'll touch it first if you are scared." I grinned at him. "I'm not scared!" Cerberus grunted like a kid. I burst into laughter. He was actually really cute when he wanted to talk. "I can still touch it first, just to show you." I reached out slowly to the parchment. Cerberus grabbed me on my wrist with lightning speed, but then he let go of me as if he touched fire. "Sorry. Ask first." Cerberus
Willa's POV My heart exploded ecstatically at his words. I pulled his shirt in for a kiss but Al already stood up. "We can't stay here. They might try again." He said, frowning at the dead bodies on the floor. "But I want a kiss..." I followed him around, hating Jason's men for ruining the moment. Al let out a surprised chuckle, having trouble understanding my pout at first. Then he pulled me close and leaned in for a kiss on my cheek. Boring! I tip-toed mildly, and turned my head to meet his lips in the last second, successfully stealing a kiss. Al paused in surprise for a second, but instead of pushing me away, he grabbed my thigh to pull me close and prolonged the kiss. He gripped the back of my thigh and pulled it slightly up the side of his body. My panty was pressed tight against his erection. I flinched at the realization of what the hard texture meant, but instead of letting me go, he put more force on the back of my waist and
Willa's POV He was quicker than I thought. By the time I turned around, he already stood up straight. This time he was very naked. I thought he would turn around or shift but he didn't move. He just stood there with his pants held in his hand, eyes flickering with a dedicated look. He was talking to Cerberus. Then the lines of his body consumed my attention. I stared at him, eyes trailing down his body. I knew Cerberus was huge, but I didn't think the size of your wolf had anything to do with the size of your body parts. And Al was huge. I wondered if he had to pay when he went to the whorehouse. I doubt any woman would not want to have sex with him, or could ever find enjoyment from other men even closer compared to what they got from him. Though being a werewolf, I had seen men naked more than I ever wanted. It was just daily life experience. But seeing Al naked was different. A flame burst out in me the moment I laid
Taran's POV I stopped a few times on the way to rest, as well as on the snow line. Willa needed to put on heavier clothes as the temperature reduced much with every mile we climb. It took us a few hours to reach the mountain top. Willa put tiny force on my shoulder blades to hold her position on my back as if worrying that would hurt me. Little did she know her soft touch was more dangerous because instead of hurting me, she was tickling my heart. The longing for her got more and more unbearable as I spent more time with her. When we got the peak, the sun was almost up. There was a hidden cave on the top, not too far from the edge. I let Willa down at the entry of the cave before I went in to put my cloth on. Willa was pouting when I stopped her from following me in. She was NOT making the two months waiting any easier for me. I could hear her pacing around at the entry, waiting impatiently. Or maybe she was jus
